KINEMATIC WAVE FLOW MODELS FOR RIVER BASIN RUNOFF SIMULATION

Abstract

Kinematic wave flow models for simulating river basin runoff are reviewd. After the baic equations of kinematic wave flow are derived, some modified kimematic wave flows which are devised for treating surface-subsurface flow on watersheds are introduced. Then, the routing of kinematic wave flows on digital terrain models are inroduced. Finally, lumping methods of kinemtatic wave flows for watershed runoff are shown.
